Of course people do listen as we are allowed to buy and own scanners, but only an idiot would admit to it
... like by connecting his feed to the internet
A kid tracking + posting on Tik Tock + Twitter the real time locations Elan Musk's + Bezo's jets for fun, which of course they don't like for security reasons. Musk offered the kid $5,000 to stop. Kid said he'd do it for $50,000. No go.
I heard about that kid and I just love hearing things like that. I would hold out for him to pay for college and throw in a car too. As to not listening to ATC and other freq. I would build my own radio( scanner) and to heck with the tyrants
